He is really cute. I would say, more greens...what are your 3 temps? And your humidity? Looks like he is pyramiding...

He was already pyramiding when I got him. I cannot tell if its getting worse, but I'm afraid it is. My temps stay at 90-100 under his basking light and 70-80 ambient. He has a humid hide that stays constantly moist and I spray him and the enclosure a few times a day. He has access to water which he regularly uses. He eats dried grasses, spring mix, mazuri and the occasional treat of cactus, strawberry tops, etc. I don't soak him everyday and I know I should- which probably is part of my problem. He soaks 2-3 times a week. He's grown nor lately then ever though, he's 100 grams now.
